Get Them Talking: Discussion starters for families
Get Them Talking is a series of resources to help families start conversations about faith during dinner, devotions or anytime.
Each month, we highlight a relevant topic and offer a Bible passage, a short reflection, some starter questions, a prayer, and an activity to help live into what we talk about. We designed these to be used daily or weekly throughout the month.
Imagine what your family will learn about God, the church, and each other when you get them talking!
Is there a topic you would like us to include as a devotional? Let us know.
The first Get Them Talking discussion starter was posted in January 2019.
